Maintenance; Starting And Stopping - Husqvarna AUTOMOWER 420 Quick Manual

1. PL ACEMENT OF AND CONNECTING THE CHARGING STATION
See chapters 3.2 and 3.3 in the Operator's Manual
1. Place the charging station at a central position in the working area, with a lot of open space in front of the charging station
and on a relatively horizontal surface.
2. Connect the power supply's low voltage cable to the charging station and the power supply.
3. Connect the power supply to a 100-240 V wall socket.
4. Place the robotic lawnmower in the charging station to charge the battery while the boundary wire is laid. Set the main switch
to position 1.
2. PL ACEMENT OF THE BOUNDARY WIRE AND THE GUIDE WIRE
See chapter 3.4 in the Operator's Manual
1. Lay the boundary wire so that it forms a loop around the working area.
2. Make an eyelet at the point where the guide wire will later be connected.
3. Run the guide wire to the point on the boundary loop where the connection will be made. Avoid laying the wire at tight angles.
3. CONNECTING THE BOUNDARY WIRE AND THE GUIDE WIRE
See chapter 3.5 in the Operator's Manual
1. Narrow passages in the garden make it difficult for the robotic lawnmower to find the charging station. The robotic
lawnmower can be lead to remote garden areas using the guide wire. The guide wire also helps the robotic lawnmower to
quickly find the charging station.
2. Lay the guide wire under the charging station and at least 2 metres = meters (US) straight out from the front edge of the
charging station.
3. Open the connectors and lay the wire ends in the recesses on each connector.
4. Press the connectors together using a pair of pliers.
5. Cut off any surplus boundary wire. Cut 1 to 2 cm above the connectors.
6. Press the connectors onto the contact pins, marked AL (left) and AR (right), on the charging station. It is important that the
right-hand wire is connected to the right-hand contact pin, and the left-hand wire to the left-hand pin.
7. Fasten the connector to the contact pin marked G1 on the charging station.
4. CONNECTING THE GUIDE WIRE TO THE BOUNDARY WIRE
See chapter 3.6 in the Operator's Manual
1. Cut the boundary wire with a wire cutters at the centre of the eyelet that was made in step 2.2.
2. Connect the guide wire to the boundary wire using the accompanying couplers. Press the couplers completely together with
a pair of pliers.

5. STARTING AND STOPPING

See chapters 4.3 and 4.4 in the Operator's Manual
STARTING
1. Open the cover by pressing the STOP button.
2. Set the main switch to position 1. When you do this for the first time, a start up sequence starts where you select a four digit
PIN code among other things.
3. Press the START button and close the cover.
STOPPING
Press the STOP button.
6. ADJUSTING THE ROBOTIC L AWNMOWER TO SUIT THE SIZE OF YOUR L AWN
See chapter 6.3 in the Operator's Manual
The mowing results depend on mowing time. Adjust the mowing time to suit your garden using the Timer function. You decide
what times during the day the robotic lawnmower is to work. The robotic lawnmower cuts approximately 90 m² per hour and
day for Automower® 420, 135 m² for Automower® 430X and 210 m² for Automower® 450X. For example, if your garden
comprises 1200 m² of grass, the mower should work 13 hours a day for Automower® 420, 9 hours a day for Automower® 430X
and 6 hours a day for Automower® 450X.

7. MAINTENANCE

See chapter 8 in the Operator's Manual
1. The main switch should be in the 0 position during all work on the robotic lawnmower's chassis, such as cleaning or
replacing the blades. Replace the blades regularly for the best mowing result.
2. Never use a high-pressure washer or even running water to clean the robotic lawnmower. Never use solvents for cleaning.
3. All connections to the charging station (power supply, boundary and guide wire) must be disconnected if there is a risk of a
thunderstorm.
4. Fully charge the battery at the end of the season before winter storage.
